Fairy Fiona and another challenge

Today I am going to share this card that I made using one of Val's Digital Design new images.
She calls these newest images her Kididles.
They are being released on April 2nd….but I was lucky enough and Val sent me them to play with early :)
Now isn't this little fairy so cute?!!

I think she is just so adorable and I love fairies and all that is whimsical, so that is why I chose this one to colour up first :)
Her name is Fairy Fiona.
They aren't up on Val's site until Saturday, but you can take a peek at her other digital images but clicking on this link "Val's Digital Designs"
If you want to check out what Val did with Fiona, you can check out her blog "Val's Creative Studio"
I coloured Fiona up with my Copic markers….I seem to be a bit out of practice, I really need to get back into my colouring :)

I have been totally re-organizing my craft room and came across these cute tiny kites…I thought it was perfect for this spring-like image :)

The inside of this card :)

One last look at my card :)

And look, another challenge for me :)
I followed the "Mojo Monday sketch challenge" for this card….now lets see if I can remember after I post, to link it….I usually forget to link it until the next day or so, lol.

Like I had mentioned above, I have been in the craft room, re-orgazning and oh my, I have a lot of work ahead of me.
So far I have done my paper scraps, 6x6 papers, 12x12 papers, card stock and stickers.
I told Kristy I was hoping to get my room completed by Friday.
She thought that was quite funny.

I hope you all have a very Creative Day :)

New Baby Tristan's card.

Its the Year of the Boy I tell you.
Everyone who is going to have, or had a baby that I know of this year, are all having boys (4 so far this year).
Here is a card I made for my brother and his wife for my nephew Tristan :)
Unfortunately my brother and I live in different provinces, so not sure when I will be able to see this little cutie in person.

I think I need a new angle for my photos as these look a bit wonky to me, lol.

Here is the inside of the card.
You all know, I love to use these index cards inside my cards to write my messages :)

Look at me go, another card challenge!!!!
Here is the sketch that I used from the challenge going on at "Mojo Monday" :)

I made this card on Friday during my Friday Night Scrapbooking evening that I host at my house.
My friend forgot her project, so just used my leftovers to make a card very similar to the one I did here :)

Hope you all have a very Creative Day

Fall Girl card and guest DT for Val's Creative Studio

I was asked by Val, if I wanted to be a guest designer (or a free agent) for Val's Creative Studio.
I love this, as I get the fun of colouring and making cards without the stress of deadlines.
My kind of creating :)

Here is a card I made with one of Val's cute digital images called "Punky Boo wearing Dress and Bloomers"
Val sent me some images a while ago, but because I am just now colouring them up, I wanted this one to be in the beautiful Autumn colours.

Now isn't she just so cute :)
I love the look of Val's digital images, I really like the folk art style and that is what these images remind me of.
Now don't pay attention to the speck on her cheek…..I didn't notice it until it was uploaded…it is just a fuzzy, its gone now ;)

If you are wondering, I actually remembered to put my Copic markers aside to share with you the colours I used ;)

I wanted to add an embellishment to this card, but still wanted it to have the Fall theme to it.
So I used an orange flower and then punched some maple leaves out of the pattern paper.
I also punched some twigs out of some different pattern paper and added the wire left over from the flower. I just wrapped it around a pen insert to get the spiral shape to it.

I had mentioned at the beginning of the year that I wanted to try some challenges…I think I have done 2 or 3 this year….I'm such a procrastinator ;)
So I thought I would try a Mojo Monday sketch challenge.
Here is a LINK with more details on this challenge, and here is their sketch.

Again here is my card for this sketch challenge.
As you can see I turned the sketch to better accommodate my image :)

Thank you so much Val.
I am touched that you thought of me to add some colour to your adorable art.

Hope you all had a Creative Saturday :)

Blake's Birthday Card and Mojo Monday Challenge

I was so excited that Graphic 45 commented on my card I posted yesterday :)
Here is what they said "Wow, beautiful! Love the flowers along the edge. Gorgeous job!"
I am sure they comment on everyone's projects, but still it is a thrill..especially since this is the second time they have commented on one of my projects :)

I got to play with my coloured pencils and Gamsol again today :)
This card is for Kristy's boyfriend. He is turning 19 tomorrow :)
What better image to use for a older boy's card then these Tickled Pink images, and Tim Holtz paper.

I used this sketch from Mojo Monday challenge blog.
I have been meaning to enter more challenges (I have only entered one) for the last couple of years.
So here I go ;)

Here is my coloured image.
I am having fun with the coloured pencils. Don't get me wrong Copics are still my favourite, but the pencils are really good for small areas like with this image.

Today was the start of my healthy eating.So I had oatmeal for breakfast.  Looks yummy doesn't it…maybe not as yummy as the banana split I had yesterday though ;)

I also enjoyed a walk on the treadmill  this morning. It is a bit slippery on the sidewalks yet, and where it isn't slippery, there are deep puddles.

I hope you had a wonderful and creative Monday :)

Tracy :)
